For our anniversary, my husband and I sat down to watch the Bollywood film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. It is the perfect couples' movie, with plenty of romance and heartstring pulling. It also has the most well-rounded human characters we've seen in recent memory, with all the flaws, strengths, quirks, emotions, and awkwardnessof real people.Even though it is a love story, I wouldn't classify it as a "chick-flick;" there is enough comedy, action, drama, intrigue, plot twisting, and full-scale musical dancing to keep the average movie-goer entertained. We would both highly recommend this film.The note is a reference to one of the songs from the movie, "Dance Pe Chance," which talks about creating a step that will make you hep.

This movie is solely responsible for returning "hep" to modern parlance.

Seriously, though, even with the "Everyone on the internet is my age" phenomenon (doo doo doo doo doo), I've gotten the impression that you and your husband are quite a bit younger than me, and who knows which references will get dated, and which will remain fresh? :-)

Well we are both 29 as of this year, so things like Fraggle Rock fall firmly into the "stuff we grew up watching" category.

Also, we both tend to be *at least* 5-10 years behind the times when it comes to our entertainment preferences - him with his classic gaming and 70's-80's folk-rock, and me with my musty books, SCA reenactments, and 90's anime. It is actually more likely that we will not get modern mainstream references (we haven't seen Breaking Bad, we honestly couldn't tell you what movies are in the theatre right now, we don't listen to current pop music, we don't own a PS3, and our computers don't even have the processing power to run new PC games). Everything is fresh to us!

So, anyway, if you watched Fraggle Rock in its first run, you must have seen it much the same way I watched Star Trek (TOS) when it was first run. ;-)

I have much the same feeling about being out of time. My favorite actors growing up were Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, and Danny Kaye (red hair, dreamy!), not whoever was famous in the 80s when I was in high school. ;-)

Also, Macgyver. <3

Recently we've been going through DVDs from the library of Remington Steele, Bewitched, and the A-Team, introducing the kids to the old classics. ;-)
